Tbut women many leadership positions with the age of the Pharaonic, until I got to rule the country, but as the first Secretary of Justice was the share of the Queen of Pharaonic, has been given the Pharaonic era for women this right, where proven ancient papyri that there are names of women were employed in the judiciary and the Minister of Justice, While this still raises controversy in our time.



Archaeologists confirmed that the papyri dating to 7 thousand years indicate that the first secretary of justice, and even the first female judge in history, was "grown" protectors of the King, "Titi" most famous kings of ancient Egypt.


Machine Maat


It means "grown" in hieroglyphics "goddess", has come to achieve legend Pharaonic spread is the myth of the Gods "Maat" which means "goddess of justice mythical" Among the titles of justice and order and balance the universal, which indicates that the ancient Egyptian stressed that the presence of women is interchangeable with the balance of the universe and the rule of peace and security.

The Re-Opening of the Nile

The Re-Opening of the Nile

The Re-Opening of the Nile





After 15 years of wasting most of our Nile banks scenery away, the government apparently realized at last that there is more to the Nile than Luxor and Aswan. So they finally reintroduced longer Nile cruises which had been stopped since 1997 to allow only for cruises between Luxor and Aswan.
Better late than never, but still, 15 years? I am sure someone, at some point, told people in the Ministry of Tourism that the Nile went a little beyond Luxor and Aswan lines.
So, in response to the groundbreaking discovery of the unchartered Nile banks’ potential in tourism, Fayza Abou El Naga, Minister of Planning and International Cooperation, has announced the new initiative. Abou El Naga, along with Prime Minister Kamal El Ganzoury and Minister of Tourism Mounir Fakhry Abd El Nour, have told the press yesterday that in response to the importance of Nile river activities, Nile cruises to Upper Egypt will be re-introduced by May.


The Re-Opening of the Nile




Abd El Nour told the press that this initiative aims to promote local and international tourism. It would also revive the economy of Upper Egyptian cities where handmade traditional goods are abundant and would be attractive for tourists.
The docks at Beni Suef, Minya, Souhag and Assiut had already been prepared for the expected cruises beginning next month.

The Re-Opening of the Nile


It’s all well and good, you know, provided we can actually guarantee tourists won’t be held up at Essna in their boats for three days waiting for a strike to end. it would also do our economy wonders if the security situation is finally resolved and we can guarantee that the Nile cruise will not involve a friendly kidnapping here and there. et

Travel Loving Luxor

Travel Loving Luxor


As a promising future dawns, take a break to stroll through the nation’s past By Glen Johnson


 As Egypt enters a new phase of its history, there may be no better time to catch up with the past. Luxor, surely one of the world’s greatest travel destinations, is the perfect place to refresh your knowledge of Ancient Egypt.


Sitting along the Nile and featuring numerous temples, tombs, obelisks and statues, Luxor provides the perfect historical getaway, packing enough jaw-dropping sights to make the trip — either a quick weekend trip or longer full-week exploration — perfect for any itinerary.
The ancient ruins of Karnak and Luxor — built in worship of a variety of gods, including the vulture-headed goddess Mut — are must-sees. The largest ancient temple in the world, the religious complex known as Karnak was built over a period of 1,300 years from the sixteenth century BC and is truly awe-inspiring. Similarly, Luxor Temple features the ruins of a former church as well as a mosque associated with a Sufi sheikh.

Travel Loving Luxor


 Luxor Museum, overlooking the west bank of the Nile, is an excellent building: uncluttered, well-ordered and with clearly labeled artifacts including the statue of Hathor, an Ancient Egyptian goddess of love, beauty, music, motherhood and joy. A separate wing houses two royal mummies, which you can view without buying a separate ticket — unlike the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. 


Just down the Corniche, the Mummification Museum houses the preserved remains of many animals and offers an easy-to-follow explanation of Ancient Egyptian funerary practices. 

Travel Loving Luxor


The warren of Pharaonic tombs and temples on Luxor’s West Bank are always worth exploring for their monumental sculpture and brilliant wall paintings. One of the newer attractions on the West Bank is Howard Carter’s house, which has been turned into a museum showcasing the life of the archeologist who discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun and unleashed the age of Egyptomania.
If you want a workout with your sightseeing, bicycles can be rented on the West Bank. 

Travel Loving Luxor


Early risers can get a bird’s eye view of the West Bank with a hot air balloon ride, which starts around sunrise. Magic Horizons and SindBad Hot Air Balloons offer hot air balloon trips over Luxor’s historic sites, including the Valley of the Kings. Both companies provide transport and flights depart early morning, when light is most favorable. Flights last between 30 and 50 minutes, depending on the weather. Taking in the sites of Luxor from the aerial perspective comes highly recommended while presenting an excellent photo-op. For Magic Horizons call +2 095 227 4060 and for SindBad call +2 095 227 2960.


An evening stroll along the Corniche or a felucca ride is a great way to unwind at the end of a day.
Tourism is Luxor’s bread and butter, but the real workhorse of the city is, well, the workhorse. From the horses that draw the caleches along the Corniche to the donkeys used by local farmers and informal vendors, work animals are a key part of the local economy. Show your support with a visit and a donation to the Animal Care Centre, a non-profit organization working to improve the health of the city’s many donkeys and other animals, by tending to the animals’ sores and providing food, water and a much-needed wash.
